So the snow snows! And the sun shines! And so it is! Shame about the bitter easterly wind, but then again it looks ok from inside the house!
I am not venturing out, I have managed to get myself almost better, still coughing but not with such fierceness ..... all's good.
I finished all my card/ATC swaps while I have been ill using the five minutes here and five minutes there method. They all went into the post yesterday (27th)..... just about made the deadline end of the month.
Sometime ago before I was sick, I was entered, mistakenly, into a swap which meant nothing to me ...... Tissue. Not a card. My partner had the same problem - ???????
She sent me some beautiful stamped sheets of tissue paper but what I could do, I had no idea.
Suffice to say I came up with an idea - brain storming with PJ actually!!
The desk:
I am making a box in which to place my stamped tissue papers. Full details will follow at some point on this Blog. I need to paint it up a bit more, varnish the lid, line the inside and then I can parcel it up. Amazing what happens to Amazon envelopes!!!
That's it from me as I am linking late today and want to go visit as many as possible.
Have fun, be productive and crafty, stay warm..........
Too true you need to stay indoors, you don't want that horrible virus to resurface.... Amazon envelopes are very useful things huh? I like the batik effect you've achieved!

yes, stay indoors! Home you feel better! And I wouldn't know what a tissue swap was for either. LOL But those in the box are pretty!

ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are feeling better!! I have no intention of moving from home tomorrow. Retirement has some advantages!! Happy WOYWW Cindy #19
ReplyDeleteHi Chris, glad you are feeling a bit better. It's a snow day for us today but you're right about the wind. I won't be going far today. I quite often use tissue as backgrounds or if it is the cheap sort use the 'bleeding tissue' method to create backgrounds too. Have a good week. Sarah #15
ReplyDeleteFive minutes her3 and there is about all you could have done. So glad you’re feeling better. The tissue box is a grand idea, clever both of you! Nothing jumps into my head I must say! Mind you.....no, I won’t even bother to say it!
ReplyDeleteit's no fun when you can't think of something for a theme, box will be lovely though. Glad you are feeling better, saw the osteopath again today and lots better here too. Thanks for the visit BJ#8
ReplyDeletegreat looking boxes! Glad to hear you are better. I had that blasted snotting and sneezing, coughing, and upper respiratory stuff last month! Takes forever to get over it! I give thanks though that it wasn't that horrible flu! Sorry I am so late getting around this week but all sorts of things jumped in my way! Vickie #32
